" "

When you have come to grips and are striving together with the enemy, and you realise that you cannot advance, you "soak in" and become one with the enemy. You can win by applying a suitable technique while you are mutually entangled. In battles involving large numbers as well as in fights with small numbers, you can often win decisively with the advantage of knowing how to "soak" into the enemy, whereas, were you to draw apart, you would lose the chance to win. Research this well.

Es esencial pulir diligentemente el intelecto y el espíritu. Una vez que hayáis utilizado vuestro intelecto hasta el punto en el que podéis distinguir lo que es verdad y lo que no lo es en el mundo, en el que podéis decir lo que es bueno y lo que es malo, y cuando ya habéis experimentado varios dominios y ya no podéis ser engañados en absoluto por la gente, vuestro espíritu habrá quedado imbuido del conocimiento y de la sabiduría del arte de la guerra.
